Hello sew-friends! This quick variation of my Quilted Slippers pattern is my final make of 2024. Ta-da!! Instead of using quilted fabric, I used a heavy sweater knit for the exterior and fuzzy fleece for the lining. Usually, I make my own quilted fabric (tutorial here) which is really fun but more time consuming. Skipping the process of quilting by using a fleece, sweater knit or pre quilted fabric makes the Slippers a very fast and satisfying project.
Hello sew-friends! It's that time of year (again! already!) when everyone is setting goals and resolutions to make this year the BEST year ever. And while in some ways I think that's great, part of me also feels like it's a lot of pressure. And that it's a way of saying that our past experiences and our past-selves were not good enough.
So, instead of giving life advice on how to make goals that makeover your life. This little post is just a light hearted look at ways that we can approach our sewing practice. Above all, I believe that sewing should make you happy. I want you to find joy during the process of sewing as much as from the use of the things you make.
